Cam Johnson. Solid draft acquisition.
Can we get TOO back? It's just not the same coming from Oatmeal.
Has he not been posting? I can hit him up on Twitter.

The Thunder are not a good matchup for us. That’s are toughest game. I’m not worried about the Sixers. They won’t have Simmons. I think Ayton may actually defend Embiid ok. Dallas won’t have anything to play for.
Memphis should go 0-4. The only worry is that those top 3 East teams have nothing to play for and Memphis steals a game or 2. Hopefully they choose to use those games as prep to get in rhythm for the playoffs. We need Memphis to go 0-4. That lets us in if we go 3-1.

I searched our user records and didn't find any user named "TOO" or "TheOriginalOriginal". What was TOO's old user name?

If I read this correctly:
If we win out then
Only miss play-in games if Grizz win at least 2 more games, and/or Blazers win at least 3 more games.
If we lose just 1 game, then there are multiple ways we miss out...

When was the last time the Suns had an 8 game winning streak?
Does anyone else remember the 96 season (I think), when the Suns had both double digit losing and winning streaks? Ive thought about that season a lot over the last few days.

I remember that season (96-97). We fired Cotton and promoted Ainge, right? Cotton lost the team and started out 0-13. Well, 0-8 then was fired.

In Nov 2007, my son couldn't walk and was barely sleeping through the night. He started 6th grade this week.

There was a point last night when I looked at the jersey and did think it was saying Antichrist and just started to laughing

Yea I did say I think Cam rebounding could be Ok but even so as a team this still is fairly surprising

I remember reading a story in the paper about how new Coach Ainge complained that his kid got made fun of at school about it. They told the kid this joke: Knock, knock. Who's there? Owen. Owen who? 0-13!

Ya, a Memphis win here is pretty bad for our chances. Essentially puts us at needing to win final 4 and still needing some help. Either Memphis going 0-3 or Portland 2-2

Yeah, we have never controlled our own destiny in the bubble. We always needed help, which is a bad spot to be in. But can't really complain when you are the 13th seed in your conference and still got invited to the party. Let's hope some others fall on their face, and they are the right teams to make a difference.

I’ve been trying to hold back on getting excited for the playoffs. Think I’m gonna go back and focus on just enjoying this run. Too many teams taking games off now. Impossible to predict what happens. Just wanna see a few more games of good suns basketball. If a miracle happens and we make it in to the play in? I’ll be ecstatic, but this already has been a successful bubble.
